Punish the ones that turn up late three or four times and their lateness will soon dry up. Feel less like hugging after a couple of hours detention.

Wed, 14 Nov 2012 07:49:14 +0000http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/?p=68314#comment-1047899Let’s take morning tea break… it’s not that long to start off with eh? Even if the girls started hugging goodbye when the break started they’d use up all the time.

10-15 mins late to class? What a joke… that’s too much. 15 mins is way too late.

Of course it could be in cases simply a delaying tactic to avoid classtime.

I suspect exposure to California culture plays a part to some degree. Those fucking LA morons seem to spend their whole fucking day greeting each other, embracing, asking how they are, saying goodbye…. as if they hadn’t seen each other for weeks. It’s all done on autopilot like a ritual dance, totally devoid of real meaning, and 100% plastic and fake. It’s more copying of American culture. A lot of kiwi kids are brainwashed by US shit, which is all they look at now, and this is what you get. They just want to fucking hug each other all day long.

I didn’t hug anyone in school!! Not one single hug-loving fucker. The closest I ever got was playing tackle rugby on tennis courts.

Oh well… the late girls are the ones most likely to be knocked up in 2-6 years and on a lifetime handout. They don’t give a shit about learning anything.

I would say to the girls… if you want to hug each other, fine. Do it during break time. When the bell rings, hugging stops, you get to class. Simple.

I would have liked to see a teacher brave enough to hit me when I was back at school.

Would you say the same if it was year 13 boys hugging the year 9 girls?

And the ‘HAKA’ which is done on any occasion, at any time and in any place.
Actually Schools should ban TEACHERS, they seem to be the problem yes?

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 06:58:22 +0000http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/?p=68314#comment-1047360A school can (and they often do) make any stupid rule it likes. Schools can ban cellphones, and water bottles, swearing, hugging, whatever. They also make areas around the school out-of-bounds for no reason.

But so what? They’re allowed to. They’re the school, they make the rules. If they want to ban hugging they can. If you don’t like it you can leave the school, suck it up, or cry to mummy and get her to go to the media.

I’m not sure the technical name for the piece of paper, but “SCHOOL BANS HUGGING” was the headline displayed by the Herald sellers on the outside of their trolleys on Queen Street today. I thought, fucking typical, and didn’t buy one (as usual).

Outside of school, kids can do whatever they like (as long as it’s not dragging the school into disrepute) but part of the point of school is stupid rules. It prepares you for the stupid rules in university, stupid rules working, in marriage, car registration, right up until your family are waiting for the doctor to write your cremation certificate because of a stupid rule. But more importantly, it keeps the class in order so that kids can learn.

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 05:49:50 +0000http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/?p=68314#comment-1047333Obviously the school is so well run that the biggest issue for teachers to deal with is hugging?

No illiteracy
No bullying
No abused kids
No weed/smoking going on
All kids receiving straight A’s on all tests
All kids participating in sports

So after achieving these remarkable results the Principal and teachers sat around and decided the next problem to attack was hugging as some kids were getting hugged more than others.

Harden the Fuck up all of you metrosexual pansie sooks. If the kids are late to class they get punished (detention) no excuses. Parents who can’t pick up their poopsie on time just have to suck it up. HTFU

I blame the Gweens. This is just the sort of stupid, mental thing that they’d come up with, tell me it’s not. It fits their modus operandi like a glove.

Phase II I suspect will be flowers in the hair and maypoles will make a mysterious comeback.

Isn’t it amazing how, no matter what a school does, there is always a rent-aquote parent with an inane point of view ready to pitch in and infer the school must be in the wrong?

She could have easily said:

“Parent Lorna Subritsky, whose daughter attends the school, said she could understand it might be annoying for teachers for have stragglers to their classes but the issue could be dealt with by addressing the physical contact, not the lateness.”

Either way it’s baloney. Fact is the kids are all caught up in a fad, it’s impacting on their schooling and the school’s job is to sort it – it’s like a new addiction for the chattering classes – everyone has a badly-thought out opinion about schools teachers, and is happy to express it. It’s what is wrong with NZ – why are we apparently incapable of letting schools take care of their own business without feeling it necessary to second guess their every action..

Why peoples self esteem is so low that they need someone to hug them is beyond me. If we arent careful well all be running around in permanent hugs sooner or later.

the school is right – they should never have allowed such desease spreading activity.

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 04:14:46 +0000http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/?p=68314#comment-1047295I wonder what the origins of this fad is? Did it come from overseas for example or from Facebook or where did it start.

I only wonder because the sexualising of younger and younger children through explicit sex ed has been going on for decades and they’re even now doing it in primary schools in Aus, UK, US. Why? Because it corrupts. Just like the totally available pornography we have today corrupts. When you were at primary school, did you want to know about penises and vaginas?

This is of course merely an innocent fad which will pass in time.

Ed but isn’t it best to say, look, OK, hug away, but there are boundaries and these are them? Isn’t that the best way to approach it?

Stupid post David, the kids are using it, as they will, to create disruption. It is a game, and unfortunately the only “weapon” the school has is the rather blunt one of a ban.

Doesn’t this just lay at the heart of everything that is wrong with NZ today.

Oh my God peoples feelings could get hurt!

We must legislate against hugging immediately before this spreads further and bouts of post hugging rejection disorder start spreading. The potential negative impact on our health system is just too great!

The Greens will be after you. They are all into hugs. You are denying them their human right ya know.
